W. I3. KERB, Editor and Proprietor. FUNERAL, OF SIR JOHN THOMPSON, 60,000 PEOPLE PRESENT. Funeral day broke clear and crisp, a beautiful January morning, with the thermometer below freezing, brignt sun. shine and good sleighing. The remains of Sir John were removed from the Legis- lative Oauooil chamber at 6 o'clock by -Undertaker Suow, Son d: Co., and taken in a covered coffin sleigh to St. Mary's Cathedral, Halifax. where it was met by Rev. Dr. Murphy and Father Moriarity. Rev. Dr. Murphy read the Sal Vena Neta Santo Deus and superintended the plan. ing of the casket on the catafalque, whioh is placed just at the foot of the grand altar of the cathedral. The death watoh from 6:80 to 10:05, when the -funeral ser- vice commenced, was kept by the priest of St. Mary's. LadyThom son's family P Y and thehi f a e mourners arrived at the cathedral at 9:80 and were- admitted through Elie side chapel. The party in- cluded Lady Thompson, her two sons and two daughters ; John Pugh, Lady Thompson's uncle, and his daughter ; Mr. and Mrs. Joe. Chisholm, sister of Lady Thompson ; Sister Lena, of the Sisters of Charity, also sister of Lady Thompson ; D. Porringer, Superintend- ent of the Intercolonial, cousin of de- ceased, Sir John's mother being a sister to D. Pomicger's father ; Fred. Carter and wife, relatives of Lady Thompson. The mourners occupied the first pews in the (entre aie!e to the left of the altar. In the head pews on the right were Lord and Lady Aberdeen, Governor and Lady Daly, Governor and Lady Dewdney, Governor Kirkpatrick, from Ontario, and their staffs ; Sir Frank Smith, Sir 0. H. Tupper and bon. Ministers of the Cabinet, Messrs. Foster, Daly, Ives, Curran, Costigan, Oaimet, Dioltey and Ferguson and Controllers Wood and Wallace. All the Judges of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia and visiting Justices occupied . pews on the right, and the represent. atives of the Provincial Governments were seated behind the mourners. The spacious cathedral, so•so mbreint its death drapings p,e and crepe, the magnificent white marble grand altar with cross of burnish• ed gold festooned with incandescent lights, the gorgeous oatafalque with the Countess of Aberdeen's white and gold pall over the coffin, the two pyramids of floral offerings from all over the world, made a picture that will be remembered for ever by the th000and'ticket holders who were admitted to the cathedral. Exaotly at 10:05 the priest of the mass came upon the altar. This was a beauti- ful precession. Six small acolytes in purple and black soutanes Dame first, then followed two altar boys in red coo - tabes, twelve in black, 50 priests of the diocese, Bishop McDonald, of Almon. dria, Bishop McDonald, of Prince Ed- ward Island, Bishop Sweeny, of Charlot- tetown, Bishop Howley, of Newfound. land, Bishop Blois and Vicar -General Langoie of Rimouski, Bishop Cameron of Antigonish, Archbishop Begin of Que- bec, Archbishop Duhamel of Ottawa, Archbishop O'Brien of Halifax, all in their gorgeous purple vestments. The train of Archbishop O'Brien's handsome purple silk robe was held by four pages in white and red soutanes. The service was the impressive high requiem mass of the Catholic Church and was celebrated by,Bishop Cameron, of Antigonish, a life• long friend of the Premier, assisted by the Bishops above- named. Archbiehop O'Brien preached the sermon. The musk) supplied by a picked choir of 100 voices was excellent. Archbishop O'Brien preached eloquent. ly an impressive sermon. "And I have walked before you from my youth auto this day. Here I am. Witness against me before the Lord and before His anointed, whose ox have I taken ? Or whose ass have I taken ? Or whom have 1 defrauded ? Whom Bare I nppreeaed ? Or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to btiud mine eyes therewith 0 And I will restore it you. And they said, Then bast not de• fraudei us, nor oppressed ns ; neither haft thou taken aught of any man's ban 1." (f. Samuel, xti., 8 and d.) While the requiem masa was being sung the funeral procession was formed up in thevioinity of the chapel, and vast multitudes of people from all over Can. oda were jostling for vantage ground along the line of the prooession. Special trains, bearing thousands of strangers, arrived iu the dty nearly every bout that morning, and the beautiful weather ,and expectation of a magnificent military, • naval and civll prooession influenced 80,. 000 Haligonians to be in the vicinity, of the cathedral and cemetery. It was ea. timated that 50,000 people saw the funeral. At the emnetel'y gate they stood 2) deep, and were lined aloogboubh Park street for a quarter of a mileat least six deep ;, the housetops wore filled, and ven- turesorne enthusiasts climbed into the trees and on telegraph poles, The re.

The horses were led by undertakers' aseietants, the pall- bearers being the =inhere of the Cana- dian Cabinet.

The vault is only fifteen or twenty yards from the gate of the Holy Crone cemetery and the funeral procession virtually stopped at the gate, each eooiety counter- marching into their planes behind the corpse. At the grave Archbishop 0'. Brien conducted the funeral service, and as the coffin was lowered into the vault, a firing party from the 66th Regiment of Militia fired the usual three volleys over the grave, the band playing a bar of the funeral hymn between each volley. Att- er the granite slabs wbioh covered the vault were placed in position the floral Offerings were artauged on the grave, and a guard with fixed bayonets was placed at the tomb. The City Council's floral offering was carried in the procession by four ser- geants. The wreath presented by the Queen was planed on the coffin. The floral offerings were carried in two large care, which were draped in block. Each oar was drawn by four horses. POLITICAL. Premier Rowell has been ordered to rest by bis doctor. .
